[jffnms-users] syslog events as polling results

[David Lesaffre]

Syslog messages are processed as events.
Can they be processed as the result of polling?

Explanation:

A web server is located behind my Netscreen firewall.
I can setup logging for http connections to my webserver on the netscreen so that it logs every connection attempt as a syslog message to the jffnms monitoring server.

Now I need a poller that checks the syslog messages in the MySQL database to make a graph that shows the connection attempts to my webserver. I don't care about separating per virtual host, or details about the pages being visited.

Or is there a tool that can be used on the webserver to provide connection data to jffnms?
The webserver is IIS running on Windows Server 2003.
